This blog is about Mark Ingram for Heisman, not how well your recruits are playing in high school......lots of kids play well in HS and never make it to the starting roster of a good college football team.....Just like any recruits awbarn successfully lands - even if they start as freshmen they won't be starting for a good team. LMAO!!

If he was in grad school and ineligible to play - and was a 5th year Sr, he couldn't come back if he wanted to could he? I am asking. I am only assuming he was a 5th year Sr. Wonder if he will finish his grad degree or just leave? If he was only getting the grad degree to maintain eligibility to play, then obviously he would go ahead and leave school too if he's not other wise interested.

Thanks Trooper - not enough grad courses as a graduate student and NCAA caught it. That's a new one....I'm surprised the staff assistants assigned to that didn't prevent it from happening in the first place. Thanks for the info.

bamanecks end up calling our guys "boss"
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Not mine. But even if he were, I'm still wealthier than he is. See "being the boss" is awfully important to you barners, for some reason. The need for "being on top" and "being in charge" probably stems from your inferiority complexes. Plus you are all hat and no cattle - the kind of yes men who are duped into taking a title instead of money, or forced to suck up and brown nose shamelessly to stay in a position where you are paid a pittance more for a heapin ghelping of sress and degradation. ARE YOU NUTS?? And you are almost always NEVER prodigious accumulators of wealth, because you are too caught up in looking good and playing like you are successful instead of BEING successful and concentrating on that. I like my strategy better. Work for another company as a professional and let them take all the risk, and use my superior skills and intellect to take my seed money and put it to work for me instead of putting all my thought and energy into making money for them. Now my money makes more money than me, and my net worh puts me in the 95th percentile and in a VERY successful league. But I'm not the boss, thank GOD!

The barners will need the tp from toomers to wipe their tears when when the mountaineers get through with them. It won't be a pretty game or an amazing game, and not really even interesting... but it will be hard fought and awbarn will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

That's right. Now go get my fries.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Ahh yes, very good sir, one order of your favorites - LAMB FRIES - coming right up!!!! I've never seen anyone eat so many. It's almost as if you get some sort of pleasure other than culinary out of eating those things. Are you still the world record holder?

That's dumba$$ Alabama logic. Why don't you put that bet down this weekend and see what happens.
++++++++++++++++++++

Well betting is against my morals. But don't get so spun up. It's a free country and everyone has the right to their own opinion EVEN if they aren't AU fans and don't agree with you. I thought I was being generous to your team. They have a chance. So take the meds and settle down........just settle down......shhhhhhhh

auburn 112- west virginia 3

mccaleb is too strong for WV. can you imagine having 164 lbs. running at you if youre a 250 lbs. linebacker.
*******************************************
Good point, but it's more like 164 lbs. running right pass you. The 250 lbs. linebacker doesn't have a chance.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

auburn has found the key to winning: fast running backs. DANG!!!
Why hasn't anyone thought about that before...AWW ...everyone's been so STUPID!!!! No one will ever figure out how to stop a FAST running back and how to tackle a fast running back. Darn now everyone will be using their fast guys to run the ball. Well DADGUM!

Neither team has played very good opposition. You can't look at the stat sheets for guidance, because they are scewed by results vs poor opposition. The best gauge is the game last year, tempered by home field advantage and looking at what has changed from last year:

Last year 34-17.

Now swing the home field advantage from WV (-3) & to AU (+3):

31-20 for grins.

WVU has a new QB but appears to be a good one.
AU has used both hands to finally find their offensive rear ends. And has done surprisingly well, albeit against questionable competition.

AU +3

31-23 for grins

Both defenses have allowed some scoring against weaker opponents. Even.

WV ranked #28
AU ranked #44

AU is favored, but wet weather statistically favors the underdog. Will it be raining?

AU fans are puffed out and over confident. Is the team? They remember last year and deep down may not believe. They do after all know their own weaknesses. But Auburn also has more to prove, and has the revenge factor. On the other hand, WV may have the cool confidence carrying over from their last year's performance against AU and overall. Even.

It will come down to what always wins ballgames:
Run the ball and stop the run.

How will the AU & WV lines match up?

How much pass rush will WV get on Todd/Kodi? An dif they are successful, how will they handle the pressure?
